Fair winds!

I think that Agents in bad slash don't use disguises much, because they usually only have canon characters to dealt with. The canon characters won't see or hear an Agent unless the Agent does something really loud/noticeable. The Somebody Else's Problem field generator in the flash patch keeps them from noticing the Agents. However, the Agents are a Mary Sue's problem, so the Sues can see and hear the Agents. The disguises keep the Sues from recognizing the Agents for what they really are.

At least that is my understanding of it.

"Other Common Mission-Related Questions

Where should I post my completed missions?

It’s up to you. Livejournal is a common choice, but if you have your own website, feel free to put it there. You can also post directly to our LJ community. FanFiction.Net (known around here as The Pit) is an option, but we don’t suggest it, as the admin is very likely to remove PPC-style stories.

Wherever you choose to post, make sure you link us to it. Post a link on the Board, and if you use your personal livejournal, a link post on the community would be very much appreciated for ease of access and archival purposes. Also, many agents have permanent links to all their missions on their profile pages here on the Wiki. We highly recommend doing this."

I find that an extremely interesting idea as well (and actually postulated that for an alternate ending to a Rose Weasley suicide fic by a Hermione fan and former pseudo-H/Hr fan by the name of pstibbons.

However, personally... I just find the whole concept of suicidal tendencies to be so messed up (less a pain that is so great and so terminal that it cannot be cured) that I would not normally even think of such a thing.

I appreciate your view though... And are you new here, I seem to have missed your into thread?

i nominate the same fic for worst biology.

Welcome to the Board! Please deposit your sanity in the provided receptacle. *indicates bucket marked "Warg Fodder"* You shan't need it here. Also, here's a crochet hook.

sure, but why not subvert/invert this by having a story about a suicidal protagonist who goes back in time to keep his own parents from getting together so that he never exists?

so i was browsing the pottersues blog today and noticed an OC named Ahsoka lupin, who was Remus Lupin's 'Cosine.' How do you guys think a trigonometric function such as this would manifest itself in-universe?

Glad to see there are a few of us on here, though we seem to be in the minority.

I think the disguises are just to make things easier. I mean, as far as I can tell, it keeps them from having to neuralyze anyone that happened to see them. In one of the TOS, Agents Sean and Lux tagged along, undisguised. This would lead me to assume it is possible. But, as you of all people know, I've been here for a shorter time than you. Thankfully, I tend to absorb information like mad (whether that is healthy or not). Anyway, my two cents are in.

P.S. Just came across info stating that most missions end with neuralyzations anyway at this point, due to the massive twisting of the canon. That would lead me to assume that the disguises are more to make things easier than anything else.

Here's a [random generic item]. Use it well.

Does it matter where your written works are kept? I keep seeing livejournal over and over again, but I already have my own site. Could I just use that instead? Wiki doesn't specify (as far as I can tell).

Also, if you can maintain good storytelling, is it necessary to disguise your characters every time they go after a fic?

For example, if I had a ninja, would s/he have to be disguised, even if nobody (that is a canon character) ever saw them? Certainly there are times when it would be necessary to be disguised, but is it possible to perform a majority of missions undisguised as long as you keep it interesting?

Here, have a watch that tells you what time it isn't. You may never know when you might need to know when now is not.

I already qualified on something else. I am claiming the prize of betaing the mess that this mission is probably currently in. :D

This is Miah and Cali's first mission together, and my first attempt at sporking a badfic.

Really, the writing wasn't too horrible in this story, and I thought the story had potential to be good--if it was rewritten as an original fiction with vampires she made up herself. The thing that sealed its fate was her replacing Todd with an Original Character. He is just too cool for me to let that happen to him.

Miah recruited a character from this story. If anyone is interested in having him as an Agent, please let me know.

He is a Wraith from Stargate: Atlantis. Currently called Not!Todd. He has an atypical personality for a Wraith, which should make him safe enough to have around HQ. He will require some unique accommodations for his meals.

Have a venomous arthropod (I'll even let you pick what kind)!

It's been too long since I read from an Andalite's POV.

Just in time. :D And it really was a doozy. Enjoy!

Heh, I really just couldn't resist, with the way the archer was acting. Same with the agent; the ficcer just made it way too obvious that the character in question knew what was going on, so we went with it. Glad you liked it.

The surprise character at the end was quite unexpected, but interesting. After all, those retired agents have to go somewhere.

And the mental image of Elven Batman is awesome.

I've still got two hours left, by my time zone!

It's not the epic mission I was planning--that still has a way to go--but it's a mission!

All I would like for a prize is a constructive review, because one can never have too many of those.

And if you ever eat in the cafeteria when this Muppet guy with human hands and an undecipherable accent is cooking, you might wind up sleeping with the fishes.

Te salute!

I always like the premise of the movie Back to the future... as well as everything. else about it. But the idea of being forced back in time and, in addition to trying to find a way back home, to have to help your parents get together to save your future hide always appealed to my inner 'shipper.

So... I just got the first chapter of a new fanfic up. It's been forming in my head for years but other projects (including ones that are going or went nowhere) distracted me from it. It's basically set in a possible future of the underGRADS canon, where one of the kids gets sent back in time by a government/university experiment gone wonk... and, as well as trying to get back (and getting their own parents together), decides that they have to be the ones who get together the parents of two of her best friends and try not to reveal too much to her only confidant... her future godmother. Because (it is written that) to know the future is to be trapped by it... but to know that there IS a trap is the first step in evading it.

And this kid likes being trapped.

Of course, it may also be a very detailed dream.

Character growth is always important. Especially when it's this funny.

Welcome to the PPC! I offer to you a coxcomb. It's a sort of silly hat, with Shakespearean lineage.

Thank you! That shield will come in handy...and after reading a few of the missions in That Series, I think I already need the bleeprin. I shudder to think of what the actual *stories* look like.

Another Redwall fan! Well met, comrade-in-arms!
